Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a metallocene compound having a specific structure, a process for preparing the metallocene compound, an olefin polymerization catalyst containing the metallocene compound, a process for preparing a polyolefin using the olefin polymerization catalyst, and a polyolefin.
  • the "metallocene compound” is well known as a homogeneous catalyst for olefin polymerization. Since the isotactic polymerization was reported by W. Kaminsky, et al. (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl., 24, 507 (1985)), there have been made many improvements in the olefin polymerization process using a metallocene compound, particularly a process for stereoregularly polymerizing an ⁇ -olefin.
  • a metallocene compound having a C2 symmetric structure wherein some hydrogen atoms of the cyclopentadienyl group in the ligand part are replaced with alkyl groups has been reported (by Yamazaki, et al., Chemistry Letters, 1853 (1989), Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 268307/1992).
  • a large number of attempts to improve the isotactic stereoregularity of an olefin polymer by the use of a metallocene compound having, as a ligand, a bisindenyl derivative having a C2 symmetric structure have been reported (e.g., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl., 31, 1347 (1992), Organometallics, 13, 954 (1994)).
  • the metallocene compound of the C2 symmetric structure is usually obtained as a mixture of a racemic modification and a mesoisomer, and only the racemic modification provides an isotactic polymer, while obtainable from the mesoisomer is only an atactic polymer, so that it is necessary to separate the racemic modification and the mesoisomer from each other in order to selectively obtain the isotactic polymer.
  • J.A. Ewen has found that an ⁇ -olefin is polymerized with syndiotactic stereoregularity by the use of a metallocene compound having a Cs symmetric structure wherein the cyclopentadienyl group and the fluorenyl group are bridged by dimethylmethylene (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 110, 6255 (1988)).
  • a metallocene compound having a Cs symmetric structure wherein the cyclopentadienyl group and the fluorenyl group are bridged by dimethylmethylene
  • the metallocene compounds having Cs and C1 symmetric structures have an advantage in that the structural isomers such as a mesoisomer and a racemic modification are not produced, differently from the metallocene compound having a C2 symmetric structure.
  • the metallocene compound of the C1 symmetric structure has a problem in that an unnecessary isomer wherein the substituent group is attached at a position different from the intended proper position is produced depending upon the preparation process.
  • an isomer is used as, for example, an olefin polymerization catalyst, unfavorable results such as production of an atactic polymer as a by-product are often brought about.
